ZMA - Useful or not?
ZMA stands for zinc monomethionine aspartate and most of the products claim to increase your strength/manhood by two-three times. Although I have a few question, I thought they really worked. I recently bought my ZMA product and took it (yesterday) and had a nice sleep (I mean REALLY nice).
The one I use is Muscletech Acetabolan-II. Fancy yes.
Serving Size 6 Capsules
Zinctech(R) 2400 mg
Magnesium 450 mg
Zinc 30 mg
Vitamin B6 10.5 mg
Vitamin C 1000 mg
Take four daily, best 1 hour before excercise on empty stomach. Cycle it every 8 weeks.
The zinc and magnesium together are supposedly to maintain your tests while the others are to raise em' while the two hold em'.

ZMA works with zinc. From what I understand now, ZMA does not increase testosterone levels, it just helps keep them at that level.
Eating meats (like red meat) and eating a LOT more (along with training with heavy weights) will increase your body's natural level of testosterone.
What does Pook mean then?
The people at GNC told me ZMA increases tests and (

DIESEL, what do you think?
Pook, shut your trap if you never took it
(yes I said it to POOK!). You said it yourself.

Yes... The program calls for ZDA, which puts you in a nice deep sleep. With the combination of higher testosterone (and you thought you had a high sex drive) with ZDA, many on the forum report having insane sex dreams. I don't take ZDA but the increase in sex drive I can definately see.

I notice that since I'm sleeping better, my testosterone has increased. So that's probably also a point of attention for guys who are low on testosterone.
How do you know your test has increased? It might just be you being high.
